Yes. I now have a new 'oldest team set.' 1950 Bowman are such great cards. Nice colors. Cool backgrounds. Bowman really stepped it up after their goofy 1949 red color-bomb release. I've had the Klu since I was a kid. I then got all but the short-print Grady Hatton in quick order once I started collecting again (yes, the early numbers are short prints, somehow). After over a year of sitting around, one card short, I bit down and paid $4.80 for Mr. Hatton. Including shipping. Totally worth it.
Some of them are in less-than-favorable condition, but I have never cared about that. At all. The set is done. Boom.

Go Reds.
Very nice. I have one of this set, the others will be a little pricey I fear.
ReplyDeleteNone were too bad, except the Klu.
